Good morning, David.
Yes.
So, I mean, he's taken this action against those three outlets, CNN, MSNOW and Politico, and aiming to silence them effectively.
The revoking of press passes from some of the journalists from those networks.
They have filed a joint federal lawsuit.
They're arguing that excluding them because the president objects to their reporting violates the First Amendment.
And you've had this extraordinary act, actually, David, of solidarity from Congress.
the rest of the TV pool that cover the president, who've essentially got together and said, OK, well, we're not going to replace them in the TV pool.
And that has essentially meant there is no TV coverage of President Trump just as he hits New York for the UN General Assembly.
Yeah, so it's basically, it gives a rotating group of reporters and photographers and broadcasters access to the president.
So when he's in the Oval Office, when he's in the White House, going to his plane aboard Air Force One.
And that group then shares that footage and the questions that are asked with all the other TV networks.
So instead of, you know, hundreds of reporters following the president everywhere, you've got that sort of core group.
And it's important because it creates an independent record of what the president says and does.
And you're right, David, he probably won't like it.
He's already sort of hit back.
But the effect of it has been felt pretty immediately.
You had today a White House event where
uh although the white house have attempted to sort of launch their own tv sort of broadcast essentially uh the sound was unusable and one of the right-wing networks in america that was actually carrying uh the footage had to accept you know the presenter on air said well we can't hear what he's saying and that's a direct result of stopping these broadcasters
CNN was the pool, was the broadcaster designated for the next couple of days.
